The Champaign-Urbana Public Health District’s Give Back Garden has a simple mission: to provide fresh produce to those members of our community that need it most. We grow our own plants from seed to supplement SNAP and WIC benefits with freshly grown, chemical-free fruits and vegetables.

Although our space and resources are limited, we are able to provide fresh produce to SNAP and WIC families free of charge (on a first-come, first-serve basis). We strive to increase accessibility to high-quality, nutritious produce that may otherwise be difficult to acquire. We rely heavily upon volunteers and donations to achieve this, and are grateful for the generosity the Champaign-Urbana community offers.
